DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 The 4’OClock Inspection Why are the soldiers inspected every day at 4pm? Why is it called the Punishment Parade? At 4pm every day in the courtyard on the Whitehall side of Horse Guards, a short ceremony takes place that brings an end to the sentry duties of the two mounted Household Cavalry in the sentry boxes. The two troopers on horseback, along with six guards on foot, will form a line in the courtyard, where they are inspected by an officer in the regiment who will have ridden down from Knightsbridge Barracks by Hyde Park to do so. Once satisfied, the officer dismisses the troopers, ending the Mounted Guard’s duties for the day. Informally known as the Punishment Parade, the tradition of the 4 o’clock inspection began in 1894. Queen Victoria arrived at Horse Guards, expecting to find the Household Cavalry ready and waiting to escort her back to Buckingham Palace, only to find the guards either asleep, drunk or gambling on the job! Deeply unamused by this, Victoria commanded that for the next 100 years, the guards be inspected every day at 4pm to ensure they were taking their duties seriously (hardly surprising she would wish that, given by 1894, there had been seven attempts on Victoria’s life). The century of punishment technically ended in 1994, but Queen Elizabeth II ordered the Household Cavalry to carry it on indefinitely as a regimental tradition, one that continues to this day. The information above is according to: householdcavalry.co.uk/museum/the-4oclock-inspection/
As far as i could see, it was rather the little chain they have under their chin (i call it the "chin chain", to differentiate it from the "security chain" that goes down from underneath their chins and is secured at their chest, the one that many horses undo when they move their heads a lot). I think the chin chain, which goes from side to side under their chin, had become tangled, so the gateman had to unchain it on this side, untangle it, and then chain it again properly. The boxman must have eagle eyes to have noticed that from his position on the horse😀 The horse was moving its head a lot, some horses do that because it's the way they are, but i also noticed the trooper was holding the reins of the correction bit maybe a bit too tight? The horses have two bits, with the correction bit being larger and in front, and two golden parts holding it on the sides. The second bit is further up, it is smaller, and it is held by two "O"s, each on one side. It's the snaffle bit, which is a lot more comfortable for the horses. The reins of the correction bit looked a bit too tight. Usually, the correction bit is only used to correct the horse, not all the time, but I've seen some troopers prefer to use it most of the time, maybe because it gives them a sense of assurance. It was great to watch the 4.00 o'clock inspection again!!!🥰
